You need to show up every single day. Market's flat? Prices boring? Your losses are burning? Doesn't matter—you still come.
Most days nothing happens. And that's exactly the point. That's where discipline gets forged.
Here's the real work: waiting beats trading by a mile. Like, 90% of this gig is literally sitting on your hands. Not doing anything. Not falling for the "this time feels different" trap that catches everyone else.
The traders who print money aren't the ones glued to charts. They're the ones who can watch the market scream and do absolutely nothing. That takes more skill than executing a perfect trade. Anyone can click. Not everyone can stay still.
